"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Empress has given birth to a little princess." After a short while, a slightly plump midwife with a round face, holding a swaddled baby jubilantly, came out and joyously reported to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu looked at the crimson-faced infant in the swaddle, feeling a strong surge of emotion within, but his primary concern at this moment was the Empress's condition, and he anxiously asked: "What about the Empress? How is she?"
